His further studies included a master of music degree at the Juilliard School of Music, where he studied with Irwin Freundlich. Shumway also received a doctor of music degree from Indiana University in 1981.

He has performed regularly since 1983 with his duo-piano partner, Parkinson, who is a member of the music faculty at Boise State University. They recorded a compact disc, “Celebrating Gershwin,” in 1998.
